Overwhelmed with transitioning to meals (1 year old) - Meal plan/prep ideas for busy parents?
Hi everyone!
I'm hoping for some advice because I'm feeling completely overwhelmed with this stage of parenting.
Our daughter just turned one, and we're in that awkward transition from bottles to actual meals.
My husband and I both work full time, and it feels like there's barely any time left to cook. We also don't really have family or a support system nearby to lean on.
I keep seeing these fancy toddler meal ideas online, but they seem so time-consuming, and I end up feeling guilty that I'm not doing enough. I want to make balanced meals for her, but I don't even know where to start. How do you make sure your one-year-old is getting balanced meals without spending hours in the kitchen?
What are your go-to meals that are quick, simple, and nutritious? Do you meal prep? Cook one meal for the whole family? Buy anything pre-made that you actually feel good about serving?
I'd appreciate any tips, favorite recipes, Instagram accounts, cookbooks, or even reassurance that this gets easier. ❤️
Thank you!
